Indian Aircraft Carrier INS Vikramaditya playing host to Russian MiG-29 KUB fighter aircraft [Wallpaper material]

Wallpaper-sized photographs of the MiG-29KUB fighter aircraft operating from the Indian Navy Aircraft Carrier, INS Vikramaditya.

CEO of the Russian MiG Corporation, Sergey Sergeevich Korotkov, paid a visit recently to the Indian Navy's Aircraft Carrier INS Vikramaditya, flying on-board his company's twin-seat MiG-29 KUB fighter aircraft that the Indian Navy has acquired for operating off the vessel. The Aircraft Carrier, that is undergoing trials at the Barent Sea, has experienced failure of certain systems, for which the Russians have at different times blamed the Chinese, the British and the Polish [a conspiracy truly on a Global scale to make Russian workmanship & Project management look bad, it is]. As a result, the much delayed platform which Indian policy-makers were hoping would arrive by the end of 2012, is expected to be delayed by another 6 moths at the very least.
A collection of hi-res photographs of Korotkov flying aboard the Vikramaditya on a twin seat variant of the MiG-29 aircraft, the MiG-29 KUB. Could be cropped to make good wallpaper.
